'pui-poses. i

lt essentially consists of inserting into aflushing pipe, o'r the like an open or closed vessel, with a trap in the pipe by which to catch any proportion of itsfiushing water having a bridge to prevent splashing as it enters the vessel, a weir or overflow from the vessel leading to the ilusliiiig pipe below it, so that the diverted water shall not be lost for flushing when required; fixing the vessel so as to swivel'aroiind the llushiegr pipe to any aiigle.`by rings elaniped to the flushing pipe. and screw-bolts to draw the ends ot' the. Flushing pipe, with the vessel between tlieiii together on Jfriction rollers to make tight joints while'swiveling.

'l`he invention is shown in detail bythe following speeilicatioii and accompanying drawing, wherel'v`igure l is a sectional elevation of the apparatus, Fig. Q a sectional plan at i-v-Bg Fig. a section in twov C-Dg lL-F, Fig. l, parts at (L-ll, Fig. l.

ln the accompanying drawing. a [lashing pipe 1, is shown with a vessel and its parts secured to it by rings :5 and l having flanges 5 firmly clamped by bolts ('i but suliieiently y free at 7 to allow the vcssel2 to swivel by friction wheels J running on flanges l0 on tie pipe part otl the vessel 2 and obtain water tight joints lo by screwing up theparts by screw bolts 8.

As shown the vessel is formed integrally with a vertical tubular or pipe-like part l which is coupled into the flushing pipe l in the manner described. This vertical tubular' part la on the vessel 2 is divided bysuitable partitions to forni a central compartment Oi trap ll between side passages 12. rlhe trap or conipartinent l1 is arranged to intersect a portion otI the water passing down the flush- 'ing pipe l and divert it into the vessel' 2 under a bridge or apertured wall i3. Any desired proixiortioii of the flushingwalter Arnay, be diverted in thisway, but preferably the quantity is suliicient to normally Fill the vessel 2. From this vessel a weir or oveitlow 1l eoininunicates through a downwardly inclined pipe l5 witlithe tubulai' part l at 1T so that at each iiushiiig operation the vessel i is tilled afresh, while the water previously contained in it, whether made dirty by washing anything in it oi` not, is flushed out and passes througlivthe pipe 15 intothe tube l;l and thence into the flushing pipe l.

The pipe l may be a r'ain or other thiid carrying pipe to conduct the water to drains or elsewhere or toa storage reservoir.

Claims:

The combination with a vertically disposed pipe, of a vessel, a tubular part on the vessel communicating with the vertical pipe, lianges on said tubiilar part, elanipiiig rings secured to said pipe, screw bolts carriedby said rings and friction rollers carried by said bolts andeiigagiiig said tlanges,

` wherebysaid vessel is revolubly connected` to said pipe to pei'niitsaid vessel to swivel laterally, a trap in said tubular partadapted to receive water vfrom the said vertical pipe and divert it into the vessel to till the vessel, ineans for vreturning the overflow from thefvessel to the vertical pipe, the whole constructed and operating to produce aiiautoniatio supply. ot fresh watervv to the vessel by .tiiisliing it whenever there is a How through the vertical pipe irrespective ot' the position ot the vessel.

n testimony whereof I have atiixed my signature iii presence of two witnesses.
